Admire the stunning natural beauty of the Mexican countryside as you cross the border and make your way south down the Pacific coast. Watch as coastal cliffs and soft hillsides blend into the blue ocean before you arrive in the heart of Ensenada to discover its landmarks, architecture and history. Begin your tour with a stroll around the Civic Plaza where you will see its huge Mexican flag and a series of spectacular statues dedicated to Mexican heroes throughout the ages. From here you will head to “Malecon”, Ensenada’s famous coastal boardwalk, to take in the bustling harbour and its range of portside activities.


You will also have plenty of time to take in the beautiful landscape of the region, which is bordered on one side by the Pacific and on the other by a small mountain range. Your guide will explain the rich tradition of wine growing in this region that rivals California’s Napa Valley for the title of the America’s premier wine country.
